How about Sonic? Hot dogs on pretzel buns with bacon and that crappy
yellow cheese sauce again:

Nope, sorry. These ads don't make me want to rush out and buy anything.

I have seen that ad. Pretzels used to be one of my favorite snacks, but
that Sonic ad sounds nauseating--and some of the ads for items like pretzel
buns for hamburger actually sound like they would be difficult to eat. I
suspect that this is one of those fads (if it even reaches the level of a
"fad") will be short-lived.
